Correct Answer:
A. Rs. 50,000
The correct answer is Rs. 50,000. This amount represents the maximum fine an Enforcement Officer (EO) is authorized to impose on a private person for an offence under Section 44 of the relevant regulations. EOs have specific jurisdictional limits for penalties, and Rs. 50,000 is the prescribed ceiling for individual offenses at their level. Options like Rs. 100,000, Rs. 200,000, and Rs. 300,000 are incorrect because these higher fines typically fall under the purview of higher authorities or are applicable to different types of entities, such as companies, or more severe offenses, exceeding the EO's delegated powers for private individuals.
